Heartbreak as boy's fight for life ends

Her sentiments have been echoed by local councillor John Pollard, who was due to meet members of the Highways Agency at the spot this morning.

Mrs Chapman added: "I have lost my little boy but something good has got to come out of this.

"Even if we have to sit in a line across the road we will do it."

The collision with a silver Audi A2 happened at around 8.40am near the junction with Loggans Way. No one has been arrested following the incident and investigations continue. Call police on 101 if you have any information to help.
